Glenny Wood Scout Camp Site

Glenny Wood Scout Camp Site is a woodland campsite near Portishead, Avon, close to the city of Bristol.

Operated by Gordano District Scouts and registered as a charity, it combines traditional Scouting experiences with a broad range of organised activities, making it suitable for all age groups.

The undulating site features several named camping plateaus, including Apple — the largest, measuring roughly 77 by 31 metres — along with Beech and others.

Campers can use altar fires, pioneering areas, and a developing wild-camping zone called the Highlands Pine Plateau, designed for bivouacking and hammock camping.

Indoor accommodation is available via an on-site lodge, and a campers' shed provides a fridge and freezer for use. The surrounding area offers easy access to the Mendips, Cheddar Gorge, and the seaside towns of Portishead, Clevedon, and Weston-super-Mare.
